so here it is the first chapter of my story based on my friends and my toons hope you enjoy
The Gathering Storm
Dead Cell
Chapter 1
She always hated these missions, she hated the cold dank caves, she hated the strange noises and she really hated the circle of thorns they really creped her out.
She had always done her best to avoid them but this time there was no way she could get out of it but at least she wasnt alone she thought. A figure suddenly appeared next to her in a blinding flash of light Raman Karn she snapped, you know Im jumpy enough as it is.
If you saw him in the street you wouldnt have been able to tell he was a super hero much less over one thousand years old, but here in the underbelly of the city the long flowing cape and Egyptian headdress gave him a distinguish if not noble appearance and the crackling electricity leaping from one muscle to the next gave away the super power part.
Raman looked over at Storm Slayer he didnt need her to tell him she was nervous he could have seen that from where he stood, every muscle in her body was tense thats plane for any one to see even thought the protective padding in her costume.
Dont worry were almost done here we only need check this one last corridor then we can leave.
I know but still
.
A noise emanating form the adjoining passage cut her sentence short. A shuffling of feet and the feint murmur of people talking could be heard in the distance and it was getting closer.
Both heroes froze the electricity around Raman increased in volume and speed and then they both vanished just as four Circle of Thorns mages, three wearing deep brown robes obscuring there faces and carrying what appeared to be crossbows. The forth mage wore far more distinctive robes, black with a red trim surrounding the hood carrying an unusual jagged sword.
A sky blue bolt of electricity shot out of one corner the carven striking the lead mage in the chest staggering him. At the same instance three ethereal figures appeared amongst the mages and proceeded to attack them.
Several bolts of lightning lashed out at the mages from a thunder cloud that had formed in the centre of the cavern accompanied by a tall, elegant, yet almost invisible figure whom proceeded to rain highly charged streams of energy on to the already overwhelmed mages, who one by one fell unconscious to the floor.
The mages would have gone down easily enough from a few shocks form Raman but something about them scared storm so much that she had lashed out with all of her powers. He could see her still shacking with fear and adrenalin as they reappeared
Its ok you can relax there, down and out stormy it was said as much to calm her as it was to lighten the atmosphere.
Just handcuff them so we can get out of here ill be ok once Im outside
Raman did as she asked and left the caverns.
Stepping out into the sun drenched park in skyway, Raman tried to remember the last time hed seen stormy so scared as he did, he felt something vibrate in his back pocket. His phone was set to vibrate so as to not attract attention when in a mission.
It was a message from Nitrux S asking for every one to meet at there headquarters,
Sounds like its important wed better get moving, Storm Slayer nodded and in a flash they disappeared.
Nitrux S was a tall muscular man with one robotic arm a replacement for the one he had lost in a car crash years ago it was only his mutant healing powers that had enabled him to survive relatively intact and later have the robotic arm grafted on to his body.
He was stood waiting in the main entrance of the base when Raman and storm arrived. The look on his face there was trouble and they where going to get involved
Go take a seat ill start the briefing when every one else gets here
They took there seats near the head of the table that was positioned in the centre of the lavishly decorated briefing room. A few moments later a slender woman dressed almost entirely in pink entered the room and took a seat opposite Storm slayer. Hay whats this all about she whispered to her companions across the table. I have no idea pussycat but it looks like its big.
The Pink Pussycat and Storm Slayer had been friends longer than they had been super heroes, when they where together they forgot about there respective super powers, they where no longer Pink Pussycat and Storm Slayer just Samantha and Zoe, the Two biggest gossips in Paragon City.
Raman was startled when the chair next to him pulled its self out even more so when the one opposite started to move, that was until a familiar voice questioned so whats old Nit got all riled up about then purse snatching gone up again in Perez a second more gravely snarling voice chimed in from the now fully visible Malinko sat across from him.
His glowing green Eyes where the only part of his face left visible the rest obscured by his deep purple hood and mask, two horns protruded from the side of the hood just avoiding the silver skulls ordaining his shoulders with a series of bone like spines projecting upward and back along side them.
In the chair next to Raman, Sparkx had now become visible his sleek black costume trimmed with golden yellow stars caught the light and gave him an almost white glow even his long black hair had the same glow as if it originated from Sparkx himself.
S o who we waiting for questioned a deep booming voice from the entrance to the room. A huge figure filled the doorway dressed entirely black and white spandex the mask did little to disguise the fact it was Ed. The enormous hulking man took a seat at the end of the table on a specially reinforced chair built to accommodate his mass.
So hows it going Bigfoot sparks jokingly enquired.
Not bad, just finished pounding on some Carnies bloody fools where trying to take over the minds of a bunch of dignitaries at a convention in Steel
Metallic voice chimed in
They always got some new plan to get them selves arrested havent they?
It was Fist of Light he had come in and sat down so fast no one had even noticed him
His gold and black helmet hissed as he released the catches that held it in place on his circuitry covered armour. It placed it on the table as Nitrux started moving towards the head of the table slowly but purposefully.
Well as were all here I think we should get started, I called you all here because several of my contacts have mentioned that they havent seen certain heroes for a wile and there starting to get concerned. Also I have made note that many of our group havent reported for duty in a few days, now it could be that they have decided to take some time off but it seems strange that so many would all choose the same time to go on holiday, stranger still that non of them would let anyone know
I agree but is there any evidence to suggest foul play
No Raman there isnt there is also no apparent link between the missing heroes at least not as yet and thats where we come in. I want you all to go around your contacts and see if they havent had any one report back to them that should have, we need a list of names how long its been and details of the last missions they where sent on once youve been round them all meet back here and we will try to find a link between them thats it guys unless there are any questions then lets move out.
*cries* 
what im not bitter
